[D]
He's a family man, he's got a job to do, providing for his own.
Wiping the kids on a couple of cars, and the mortgage on his home.
He spends all his time on the telephone line, wondering where it's all gonna go.
How much longer can he keep it together?
He doesn't really know.
But [G] he's working hard for all the [D] things that he loves.
And [G] he'll never let up, cause he [D] knows that if he does,
he'll [Bm] lose everything that he's [C] ever worked for, [Bm] saying goodbye to the [C] things he loves.
[A]
[Bm] It's just a common [F#m] situation, and you [Bm] know that's the way it [F#m] is.
[Bm] Still he thinks the time has come to back it up, move it out, get away as [D] fast as he [F#m] can.
Oh, [G]
I've gone to [D]
the movies, doing the best I can.
And when he gets home, he has a couple of drinks.
He's so tired of the same routine.
He wants to live up to his master plan, but he wouldn't mind changing his scene.
[Dm]
Oh, [D]
for a holiday.
Oh, to put the [A] wife and kids [Dm] in getaway.
But [G] he's working hard for all the things [D] that he loves.
And [G] he'll never let up, cause he knows [D] that if he does,
[Bm] he'll lose everything that [C] he's ever worked for, [Bm] saying goodbye to [C] the things he loves.

[Bm] It's just a common [F#m] situation, [B] and you know that's [D] the way it is.
